It's taken a whole year, and I'm not to my "goal weight" yet, but I finally reached the 50 pounds lost milestone. Thank you to Zaide for introducing us to the "Abascal Way", and to my 4 companions on the weight loss journey --- Pia, Cara, Katie and Tony have stuck with me for a year of eating nothing that was part of our previous diet (RIP pizza, fast food, sugar, flour).

This time last year, I honestly didn't believe I'd ever be able to lose a significant amount of weight. While my knees are still achy and limit my exercise options, I am thrilled with my progress.

Before:

That's me 3rd from the left. Sorry I don't have a better "before" picture, obviously I wasn't too eager to get my photo taken.

After:

Oh, and the Rogaine is working! My stylist couldn't believe how quickly my hair had grown in a month yay!
